Found this vintage Lego hospital on Ebay, got it for a really crazy low price, managed to buy the missing parts from Lego directly, so was chuffed when they arrived today.

The only thing I cant get hold of are a set of the stickers and a chrome tap to finish it off...........anybody any ideas where I can get a set of stickers from?

Anyway here it is, my misses is well chuffed with her growing collection

The Moc's came out great graded and you had some nice grades although I could hardly see any yellowing on a couple of them.

Also nice to see some very vintage Lego! That's the first lego I remember having but it was rapidly taken over by the Space lego once that was released. Blue Peter even showed you how to build a lunar surface for they series using tin foil and toilet rolls which I remember building and then taking up all of the floor space in the back room with it.

It's very iconic the Old Lego but a grey haired Granny vs a Blue Spaceman just doesn't stand a chance for a young boy, sorry granny

Awesome Bob, I used to have a Raleigh Burner back in the day, absolutely adored that bike, went bloody miles on it

Fun to see, though it was much older than me at the time I was given an old Mongoose cali' special in blue, loved it to death. Skate parks, dirt tracks sliding along footpath rails in Saffron Waldon/Harlow around the mid 90s. I do miss those days for sure, do they still make them? :lol:

Mongoose put out retro bikes every once in a while, they did one last year for Stranger Things.
Ruby, the bloke who's back garden backs onto mine has a black/gold Ultra Burner sat rotting in his shed, I'm constantly on his case to let me have it

Ill never understand why people would rather let things rot then let it go to someone who would restore it, about 17 years ago I came across an old 1943 Bedford QL with a medical/dental body on the back, a rather rare beast on a farm. I even offered 7k cash for it as it sat but no, I got the usual oh I dont want to sell it. Five years later, I asked again as it was still sat getting worse. Nope not for sale, 12 years later he decided to let it go and contacted me. Completely rotted out, bits robbed body disintegrated. A real shame as at the time, and i'm sure its still the case that there is only one other on the road in the Uk and even that one has been campervaned as I call it..... :x

Why do folks let stuff rot? I would keep on his case and I'm sure he will eventually crumble

Some constant persuasion, maybe bribes with good quality rum will work.
